All these buildings are like mountains I would like to climb, but I am forbidden.

Modern people are only willing to believe in their computers, while I believe in myself.

In fact, it will be very easy to climb the building because of its shape and architecture.

Fortunately, the courts discharged me every time after they understood what I had done.

Authorities arrest me, release me, and then invite me back to host public events. I think it's interesting.

I did climb about 80 buildings around the world and I climbed even the five tallest.

I love all people, whatever race they are.

I make good money: One speech nets me more than what most people make in six months.

It's a great feeling to know that 100 cops want to stop you doing something and they can't.

Life has to be dangerous.

People need to learn to live with more risk.

Whenever I climb I have to also entertain.

With buildering, I get to keep that element of danger. Plus, I very much like the feeling of height, and buildings have even more of a feeling of height than rock faces.

People can inhabit anything. And they can be miserable in anything and ecstatic in anything. More and more I think that architecture has nothing to do with it. Of course, that's both liberating and alarming.

The organizational architecture is really that a centipede walks on hundred legs and one or two don't count. So if I lose one or two legs, the process will go on, the organization will go on, the growth will go on.
